I have such great gratitude and appreciation for Don. He was certainly a world-class scholar and an outstanding teacher. In addition to imparting information, he touched the very hearts of so many of us. He knew “where we live” and could speak to our own journeys as seekers, as ministers, as people trying to witness to God’s abundant love. Don often gave us a new or renewed perspective. He opened the Scriptures in exciting and challenging ways. Don was deeply grounded in faith, and yet open to the Spirit leading him further. Thank you, Don.
